Belê temaşevanên hêja, vê hefteyê jî me berê xwe da navçeya Şera. Yes dear viewers, this week we turned our direction to the district of Shera.
Îro em derbasî gundê Alkê bûn. Today, we entered the village of Alke.
Di şoreşa Rojavayê Kurdistanê da, sê pakrewanên vî gundî bi hevre şehîd ketin. In the revolution of Rojava Kurdistan, three martyrs of this village fell together.
Navê gund hat guhertin. Nav lê kirin Sebra. The name of the village was changed. They named it Sebra.
Dê ka vê hefteyê jî em derbasî gundê Sebra bin. So, this week, let us enter the village of Sebra.
Me xwest îro em dîroka gundê Alkê jî nas bikin. Em ê ji Apê Henîf bipirsin. We wanted to get to know the history of Alke village today. We will ask Uncle Henif.
Merheba Apê Henîf. Hello Uncle Henif.
Merheba, ser seran û ser çavan. Tu jî û grûpa bi te re hatinî. Hello, you are most welcome. You and the group that came with you.
Bi xêr hatina we ye, em pir pîroz bûn, em kêfxweş bûn, û cimeat jî kom bûye. You are welcome, we are very honored, we are happy, and the community has gathered too.
Spas dikim Apê Henîf. Apê Henîf, navê gundê Alkê ji ku hatiye? Navê gundê Alkê? Thank you, Uncle Henif. Uncle Henif, where does the name Alke village come from? The name Alke village?
Wele navê gundê Alkê, gora em dibihîstin, me dibihîst, ji kalkê me de, jibavkê me de, kalkê me de... Well, the name Alke village, according to what we heard, we heard it from our grandfathers, from our fathers, our grandfathers...
Digotin nav lê kirine gundê Alkê. They said they named it Alke village.
Navê mirovekî bû? Was it a person's name?
Navê kesekî... navkî pir kevin e. A person's name... it is a very old name.
Me got gundê Alkê çû yanê "gund", "nav e", "kevir e", "çiya ye"? We asked, does Alke village mean "village", "name", "stone", "mountain"?
Got na, ji aşîrê ye. Got, mêrik hebû, kalkê wan a... He said no, it is from the tribe. He said, there was a man, their grandfather...
Digotin navê xwa Elî bû, nav lê kirin "Elik". Gund bû "Gundê Alkê". They said his name was Eli, they nicknamed him "Elik". The village became "Village of Alke".
Ê temam, badî gundê Alkê, di gûna nîzam de hat... So okay, after Alke village, it came to the era of the regime...
Di sala çel, heftê, çel, heştê de bi nîzam, badî gund giş navên Erebî lêkirin. In the years forty, seventy, forty, eighty, under the regime, after they gave all the villages Arabic names.
Kirin "Hilûbiyê Sexîr". They made it "Hilubiye Saghir" (Little Hilubiye).
Na "Hilûbiyê" gundek li hember we heye? Navê wî jî Hilûbiyê ye? Does "Hilubiye" exist as a village opposite you? Is its name Hilubiye too?
Temam, ew Hilûbiyê Kebîr e. Exactly, that is "Hilubiye Kabir" (Big Hilubiye).
Bi îtîbara ew axler têda hene... Heke ew kirin Kebîr, ev kirin Sexîr. Considering there are Aghas (lords) in that one... So they made that one Big, and this one Small.
Kurmancî jî "Hilûbiyê Çûk", "Hilûbiyê Mezin". And in Kurmanji, "Small Hilubiye", "Big Hilubiye".
Piştî wê tiştî, di vê şoreşa me, di şoreşê de... After that thing, in this revolution of ours, in the revolution...
Sê pakrewan me şehîd ketin, hersê bi hev ra di rokê da. Three of our martyrs fell, all three together in one day.
Nav lê kirin Gundê Sebra. They named it the Village of Sebra (Patience).
Li kuderê şehîd ketin? Where were they martyred?
Li Qestel Cindo. In Qastal Jindo.
E berî vî bi du salan bûn? Was it two years ago?
Berî vî bi du salan. Bû du sal û panzdeh rojan. Two years before this. It has been two years and fifteen days.
Navê gundê we kirin ha "Sebra". They made your village name "Sebra".
Sebra. Sebra.
Niha gundê we, gundê Sebra... çend malbat têdan e? Now your village, Sebra village... how many families are in it?
Malbat bi xwa... pênc malbat in. As for the families themselves... there are five families.
Malbat... paşê malbata Tewr Siftah li vir... malê Hesbeşka. The family... then the family of Tewr Siftah here... the Hesbeşka house.
Didûra Hemkelekê hatin viderê. Li vir bav û bira ciwan kirin. Secondly, the Hemkeleks came here. Here they settled fathers and brothers.
Didûra malbatek pir biçûk hebû, malê Reşê Cimo digotin. Secondly, there was a very small family, they called them the house of Reşê Cimo.
Didûra malê Cebûla hatin. Secondly, the house of Cebûla came.
Didûra malê Hûrê hatin. Secondly, the house of Hûrê came.
Pênc malbat? Five families?
Pênc malbat. Five families.
Niha gundê we çend mal in? How many households is your village now?
Wele nîzka heftê, heştê mal e. Well, nearly seventy, eighty households.
Bes malên hedîs jî hene, pirik derketin derva. But there are modern houses too, many went outside (abroad).
Ê vê tiştê derxistina derva jî, pir zirar bû. And this thing of going outside (emigration) was very damaging.
Ez bi xwe deh, duwanzdeh yeka ez çûm Almanya. I myself, for ten, twelve [years] went to Germany.
Yanê sebra min wek rûkê li viderê nehat. Meaning, I didn't find patience [peace] like a root here.
Ma va xelkê li viderê bi min ra deyn dikirî, me digot "Ma çima sebra we tê?" These people here were mocking me, we said, "Why do you have patience to stay?"
Wîn axê xwa, û welatê xwa, û erdê xwa, û efrînê... bê bayê xweş û hinek wîn dênin, çima sebra we li vir da tê? Your soil, and your country, and your land, and Afrin's... without the good air and you leave some of it, why do you have patience [to stay] here?
Sebra min li wir nehat, ez vegeriyam hatim welatê xwe. My patience didn't last there, I returned and came to my own country.
Hûrg û hewalên me, ya paşê, ya pêşê... Hwdû dor me diparêzin, em bi kêf ra dikevin. Our comrades and friends, the latter, the former... Etc., surround and protect us, we live together in joy.
Em hew dikin, gerek e em jî de'mî wan bikin. We hope, it is necessary that we also support them.
Gerek e em qewetkê ji par û buwan din. It is necessary that we give them some strength from our share.
Her dengî min derê, belkî Ewropa jî, û Tirkî jî, her însanek li gund... Wherever my voice reaches, maybe Europe too, and Turkey too, every person from the village...
Gul vê dengî min ê, gerek e bîra xwe bigre û vegere welatê xwe. Who hears this voice of mine, needs to make up their mind and return to their country.
Welat şîrîn e. The homeland is sweet.
Welat pir şîrîn e û pir xweş e. The homeland is very sweet and very good.
Her tiştek têda heye. Vê welata... zêr têda heye, hesin têda heye, petrol têda heye, zeytûn têda heye. Everything is in it. This country... there is gold in it, there is iron in it, there is petrol in it, there are olives in it.
Genim, ceh, nîsk... giş têda, va tişta têda diçînin, derdixin, pê dijîn. Wheat, barley, lentils... all are in it, they plant these things in it, extract them, and live by them.
Niha jê dema zeytûna ye, dema zeytûna jî milet bawer dikim piraniya şûna karê xwe jî hene. Now it is olive season, and during olive season I believe most of the people are at their workplaces.
Ê temam, noka di vê... bîst û pêncê mehê û berjor da. Yes exactly, now in this... from the twenty-fifth of the month and onwards.
Qararek derket xelkê zeytûnê xwe biçinin, milet giş li zeytûnê xwe ye. A decision came out for people to harvest their olives, the whole nation is at their olives.
Îşte karê xwe, mewsimê xwe, heke tup hev ke, were rûnê, rûnê şivistanê rûnin. So their work, their season, if they gather it all, come and sit, they sit for the winter.
Apê Henîf, niha di gundê we de Komîn ava bûye? Uncle Henif, has a Commune been established in your village now?
Temam, ava bûye. Exactly, it has been established.
Komîn bi navê Şehîd Ebdo ye. The commune is named Martyr Abdo.
Di viderê da em çel û heft, çel û heşt endam in. In here, we are forty-seven, forty-eight members.
Komîn bi hevdora alîkar dibe. The commune helps each other.
Wek zamanê berê. Like the old times.
Di gunda da, her gundkî da, komîn çêbû... In the villages, in every village, a commune was formed...
Alîkarîk dibe, îşek dibe, tiştek çêdibe, sulhetek dibe, de'wek dibe. Help happens, work happens, something happens, a reconciliation happens, a lawsuit happens.
Wek berê, rûsipî hebûn, di gunda da hal dikirin. Noka jî komîn jî nefs wî dewrî dileyîze. Like before, there were elders, they solved things in the villages. Now the commune plays that exact same role.
Tiştê pêkane hal dike. Tiştê pê nekane jî, bi sebrê ê hal bibe. It solves what is possible. What it cannot solve, with patience it will be solved.
Va tişta, komîna pir esasek pir kîbar derket û rind derket. These things, the commune turned out to be a very fine foundation and turned out well.
Yekbûna gund yanê, yekbûna milet yanê. The unity of the village, meaning the unity of the nation.
Yekbûna gund çêbû û her tiştek jî dimeşe. The unity of the village happened and everything is moving forward.
Giş alîkariya hev dibin. Mişkîlek çêdibe, ê were ban komînê ke, "were vê mişkîlê me hal ke". All help each other. If a problem arises, they will call the commune, "Come solve this problem of ours."
Mişkîlek bûra çêbû, ê hal ke. Yanê em dervayî gund, derva nakevin. If a problem happened there, it will solve it. Meaning we don't go outside the village, we don't go out.
Va tişta jî pir fikrek baş û rind bû. This thing was also a very good and fine idea.
Rast e, em dizanin di kurdewarîya me de, ew bingeh heye. Tê bîra te, berê bê pere... It is true, we know in our Kurdish culture, that foundation exists. You remember, in the past without money...
Berê gunda, wû de hebûn, rûsipîyê gunda hebû. Before in the villages, there were those [leaders], there were village elders.
Berê bê pere, milet bi hevra dibû alîkar. Niha ev komîna dîsa bî bingehê wê tiştê yanê. Tişkî pir baş e yanê. In the past without money, the people would help each other. Now these communes are again the foundation of that thing. It is a very good thing.
Temam rast e, berê wû de hebûn, mesela muxtar hebû, mûra xwa hebû. Exactly true, before there were those [leaders], for example there was a Mukhtar, he had his seal.
Ge tiştek çêdibû, ê ka alîkar ba, yek cemea hebû digotin Reşê Cimo. If something happened, or help was needed, there was a man [group/family?] they called Reşê Cimo.
Dişand, wek begcî gund bû. He would send [someone], he was like the village watchman/gardener.
Digere, "xebara filanî de, xebara filanî de, hûruşta em kan alîkariya filan malê bikin". He walks around, "tell so-and-so, tell so-and-so, that today we will do help for such-and-such family".
"Alîkariya filan malê bikin". Tûp hevdidibûn, diçûn. "Do help for such-and-such family". They would gather together and go.
Em pê dimeşin vê tiştê. We are walking with this thing [tradition].
Em spasiya we dikin. Mala we ava be. We thank you. May your house be prosperous (Thank you).
Saxbe, ehlen wa sehlen, bi xêr hatina we, ser seran û ser çavan. Be healthy, welcome, you are welcome, on heads and on eyes.
Spas dikim. Thank you.
Navê gundê Alkê ji navê kesekî li gund niştecî bûye hatiye. The name of Alke village comes from the name of a person who resided in the village.

Yanî esas û yê rast, hewa Şehîd Hogir. So the basis and the truth is this, Martyr Hogir.
Bi xwe yekî Yêzdî ye, ji gundê Endarê, eslê xwe. He himself is a Yazidi, from the village of Endarê, originally.
Li vê derê da... hewa teb lixelîfê Imededdîn Zengî dibe. In this place... he joins the army of Caliph Imad al-Din Zengi.

Xelîfet Imededdînê Zengî. Caliph Imad al-Din Zengi.
Di Rihayê da. Wê derê da ser dikevin... vedixwin, vedigerin li vegerê... In Riha (Urfa). There they win... they drink [celebrate/rest], they return, on the return...
Tên li vê derê, istirahet didê xwe, vê şevê... kî li vir xew ki, yanî li vî mewqiî. They come here, rest themselves, this night... who sleeps here, meaning in this location.
Di wî demê da jî tên... belkî me eskerê tewê tên deverê da, ê Yunan. At that time they come too... maybe the army of the others come to the area, the Greeks.
Di vê gelî ra tên, di ginde dibînin, serî ginde qut dikin. They come through this valley, they see them sleeping, they cut off their heads while sleeping.
Li vir da jî... şte hev wî demê da... aweyê şehîd li vir da çêbû, Hogir. And here... well at that time... that is how the martyrdom happened here, Hogir.

Curnekî reş hebû li vê derê, û li vê derê xelk roja Çarşemê, sibe zû dihatin li vir mirîşka xwe serjê dikirin. There was a black trough in this place, and people would come here on Wednesday, early in the morning, and slaughter their chickens here.

Mi şerê xwe tê da. Mi go ji çar bava da ez zanim navê xwe Qerecurnê ye. Te xêr te ev navî lê dike? I argued with him. I said for four generations I know its name is Qerecurnê. Why on earth are you giving it this name?
Got wela tê ji min xwestin. He said, well, it is asked of me.

Di gund de govaşta gelek zeytûnan heye ku berî 40 salî li ser kar bû, lê niha nayê bikar anîn. In the village there is an olive press that was operational 40 years ago, but is not used now.
Darek palûtê bi navê Dara Bêxweş tê binavkirin û bêna xweş li hewîrdorê belav dike. An oak tree is known as the Tree of Bêxweş and it spreads a pleasant scent in the surroundings.
Û xelkên derdorê de ziyantê de girê didin, bi hêviya ku xwedê daxwaz û miradê wan bicîh bîne. And the people of the surroundings tie [rags] to it in the shrine, with the hope that God fulfills their requests and wishes.
Bîrek bi navê Curnê Otmên li başûrê gund dikeve, û şînahiya gund ava vexwarinê jê peyda dikirin. A well named Ottoman Trough is located in the south of the village, and the inhabitants of the village obtained drinking water from it.
Lê niha di her malekê de bîrek avê heye ji bo pêdiviyên jiyana rojane. But now in every house there is a water well for daily life necessities.

Zîyaret dixwaze. The shrine demands [respect].
Ava dixwaze... ê berê gi naxoş dibû, serê niba digeron danîn çê dikir vê derê, xelqê ro îniyê dihat. It demands this... those who were sick before, [heads/people] would turn and make [offerings] here, people came on Fridays.

Berê çarşemê dihatin. Na, bahsê bû roja çarşemê. Before they came on Wednesday. No, the topic was Wednesday.

Di wî demê da ye. It is from that time.
Di wî demê da çêkirin. They built it at that time.
Berî... hesin... Before... iron [railway]...
Çêkirin, hatin, ev rêka jî... kevir danîn... kî bi çakûç dikotan... kevir... qelabe, melabe tinebûn. They built, came, this road too... laid stones... who hit with hammers... stones... there were no dump trucks or machines.
Gi bi desta çêkirin. Bi çêkûç şikandin kevir. All made by hands. Broke stones with hammers.
Em spasîya we dikin. We thank you.
Em jî spasîya we dikin saeta we xweş. We thank you too, have a good time.
Li binê gund kaniyek bi navê Qerecurnê heye. At the bottom of the village there is a spring named Qerecurnê.
Ku di dema bûrî de xelkê gund av ji wir dibirin, pez û dewarên xwe jê av didan. That in the past times, people of the village took water from there, and watered their sheep and livestock from it.
Di heman demê de, ev dever wekî ziyaretekê tê naskirin. At the same time, this area is known as a shrine.
Li gorî gundiyan tê gotin. According to the villagers it is said.
Ku di vê ziyaretê de kesekî bi navê Hogir heye. That in this shrine there is a person named Hogir.
Û ew mîna fermandarekî Zerdeştî ji gundê Endarê bû. And he was like a Zoroastrian commander from the village of Endarê.
Di dema serweriya Zengiyan da hate kuştin û li vir bin ax bû. During the rule of the Zengids he was killed and buried here.
Lê Osmaniyan navkir Qerecurnê. But the Ottomans named it Qerecurnê.
Ango Curnê Reş ji bo ku navê şehîd wenda bike. Meaning Black Trough in order to lose [erase] the name of the martyr.
Her wiha rêjîma Baasê jî navê Şêx Mihemed Rihawî li ziyaretê kir. Likewise, the Ba'ath regime gave the name Sheikh Muhammad Rihawi to the shrine.
Lê xelkê gund nerazîbûna xwe diyar kirin. But the people of the village expressed their dissatisfaction.
Û her wiha li wir rêjîmê xwaringehek jî ava kir. And also there the regime built a restaurant.
Ku wateya vê deverê bê nirx bike. To make the meaning of this area worthless.
Hêjayî gotinê ye ku xelk di sibehen Çarşeman da mirîşkeke reş serjê dikin. It is worth mentioning that people slaughter a black chicken on Wednesday mornings.
Û li xizanan belav dikin. And distribute it to the poor.
Bê ku tiştekî jê bixwin, ev ji bo kesên nexweş dihatin kirin. Without eating anything from it, this was done for sick people.
Bi hêviya ku xweda li wan were rehmê û derdê wan derman bike. With the hope that God has mercy on them and cures their pain.
Bavê hêja... Em dixwazin hinek li ser bavê hêja bin, na emê bi hev re nas bikin. Bavê Hêja... We want to dwell a bit on Bavê Hêja, no, let us get to know him together.
Merheba ciwanê. Hello young lady.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Bavê min nivîskar e, helbestvan e, nîgarkêş e. My father is a writer, a poet, a painter.
Ee.. ji fen pir hez dike, ji wî tiştî. Ee û kitêbên xwe te'lîf kiriye. Uh.. he loves art very much, that sort of thing. Uh and he has authored his own books.
Ji kî fêr bû? Di malbata we de kes hebû? Who did he learn from? Was there anyone in your family?
Na, ji Cegerxwîn fêr bû. Ew dema eskeriya xwe de, leşkeriya xwe de bû, çû cem ê, nas kir. No, he learned from Cegerxwîn. During his military service time, he was in the military, he went to him, met him.
Li ku derê? Where?
Li Şamê. Fêr bû jê. In Damascus. He learned from him.
Li wî demî Cegerxwîn jî li wir bû? At that time Cegerxwîn was there too?
Aha, Cegerxwîn jî hebû. Ee.. têkiliya xwe bi hev re hebûn. Uh-huh, Cegerxwîn was there too. Uh.. they had a relationship/connection with each other.
Dostaniya xwe, çûn û hatina xwe, bi wî karî radibûn. Jê elimî. Their friendship, their visiting back and forth, they were busy with that work. He learned from him.
Û ser wê esasî... yanî ew jî nexwendiye, xeyrî sefa şeşê, heta şeşê tenê xwendiye bavê min. And on that basis... meaning he actually hadn't studied, except for the sixth grade, my father only studied up to the sixth grade.
Li ku derê xwendiye? Where did he study?
Li Efrînê xwendiye. Mewalîdê wî jî çel û heşt in. He studied in Afrin. His birth year is forty-eight.
Çel û heşt in? Forty-eight?
Çel û heşt in. Forty-eight.
Afû, heya sefa şeşê xwendiye? Excuse me, he studied until the sixth grade?
Û zimanê... belkî pêşiya me kurdî ye, bi erebî ye? And the language... perhaps before us is Kurdish, [or] in Arabic?
Zimanê kurdî heye, bi erebî jî heye. Guherandina, wergerandina kurdî. There is the Kurdish language, there is also Arabic. The conversion, the translation to Kurdish.
Ka tu dikarî tiştekî ji me re ji tiştê bavê xwe bixwînî? Can you read something for us from your father's things?
Em helbestekê jê re bixwînin? "Nêrîna Bavê Hêja". Shall we read a poem for him? "The View of Bavê Hêja".
"Belengaz diçe û her tişt lê dij e." "The poor man goes and everything is against him."
"Dadvan ber mafê wî ker û gêj e." "The judge is deaf and dazed regarding his rights."
"Nasîna dijminatiya dem dirêj e." "Recognizing the enmity is a long time coming."
"Bextê hebûna gemar û qirêj e." "The luck of existence is filthy and dirty."
"Bi rastî Bavê Hêja wê çi bêje?" "Truly, what will Bavê Hêja say?"
Ev helbest e? Is this the poem?
Ew helbestek gundî ye. That is a village poem [folksy poem].
Kîjan salê danivîsandiye? Which year did he write it?
Di sala nod û didiya da. In the year ninety-two.
Nod û didiya da? In ninety-two?
Nod û didiya da. In ninety-two.
E kengî dest bi karî... helbestê kiriye? So when did he start working... on poetry?
Ewa biçûkiya xwe de. Be'dê elimî zimanê kurdî... That was in his childhood. After he learned the Kurdish language...
Dema ew leşker... dema ew cigerxwîn dît? When he was a soldier... when he saw Cegerxwîn?
Ee leşker bû. Ji Cegerxwîn elimî, jê wê de bi xwe helbestvan kar kir. Yes, he was a soldier. He learned from Cegerxwîn, from then on he worked as a poet himself.

Ser çi daxivî? What does it speak about?
Ser qewaîdê daxivî, ser alfabeyê, tîpên kurdî, ê girs, ê hûr. It speaks about grammar, about the alphabet, Kurdish letters, the capital, the small.
Di wê demê de jî pir zehmet bû, yek bi kurdî bixwîne... At that time it was very difficult for one to read in Kurdish...
Ekîd pir zehmet bû, pir zordî, hatta zor ji hukmetê didîtin. Yanî ji nîzam didîtin û vê tiştana. Certainly it was very difficult, lots of oppression, they even faced pressure from the government. Meaning from the regime and such things.
Wî çaxî hûn li gund bûn? Were you in the village at that time?
Na, em li Helebê bûn. Em li Helebê bûn. Berê bavê min li sala heştê û darna çûbû Helebê. No, we were in Aleppo. We were in Aleppo. Before that my father had gone to Aleppo in the year eighty... and so on.

Teqrîben, yazdeh sal. E ez li wir bûm. Approximately, eleven years. Uh, I was there.
Sala heştê û didiya ez li wir bûm. Piştî wê, çend mehêkî bûn, em tavilê hatin welat. Em hatin viderê. In the year eighty-two I was there [or he went there]. After that, it was a few months, we immediately came to the homeland. We came here.
Ee û şûnda dest pê kir zimanê kurdî û darê... Uh and after that he started with the Kurdish language and...
Ka ji me re bêje. Tell us about this.
Ev jî "Kutab ser diranê kurmî". This is "The Book about the Worm's Tooth" [Metaphorical title].
Çi ziyanê digihîne bejnê û laşê mirov. Ev ser vê tiştî çêkiriye. What harm comes to the stature and body of a person. He created this about that subject.
Di sala... hewa ji avê hatiye... ji zimanê erebî hatiye, hatiye wergerandin. "Cinûna Sêf". In the year... this came from that... it came from the Arabic language, it was translated. "Junun al-Sayf" [Madness of the Sword].

Ew ser çi daxivî? What does that speak about?
Eva ser Şerq el-Ewset daxivî. Yanî selamet çêbibe, hurriyet be, destê xwe yek bin. Ev bû. This speaks about the Middle East. Meaning may there be peace, may there be freedom, may their hands be united. That was it.

Pirtûkên kurdî ser nivîsandin dibin, ser cilê kurda. Ev tê de dîd, rabû bi xwe dirûn kir, çêkir heva. Û bi xwe jî heva ji avê yûnaniya ji me bir. There are Kurdish books about writing, about Kurdish clothes. He saw this in there, stood up and sewed it himself, made this. And this itself, he took this from the Greek [style] for us.
Yûnaniya ji me standin heva. Kirin cilê xwe, ji xwe re. The Greeks took this from us. They made it their clothes, for themselves.

Şerê aşûriyan dikir. Ji bo kurda. He fought the Assyrians. For the Kurds.
Wî... aw kir... hatin girtin, aşûriya ew girt, kirin zîndanê li Hemê. He... did that... he was captured, the Assyrians captured him, put him in prison in Hama.
Du wero jî... berê ginde... hat azadî kir ginde ji zîndanê. Û wi derê jî azadî kir, ew jî... Û hev bû. Two days too... before the village... he was freed from the prison. And he liberated that place too, that too... And that was it.

Tu nivîsandî? Did you write it?
Nivîsandiye bi navê ginde... Diyako. It is written in the name of... Deioces.
Diyako. Deioces.
Diyako. Ev jî taca gindî ye. Ewa êzîdiya li ser e, îşareta êzîdiya, şems el-mucenneha. Deioces. This is the noble crown. That of the Ezidis is on it, the symbol of the Ezidis, the Winged Sun.
Ev jî genim e, remza nan e. This is wheat, the symbol of bread.
Selametî ye? Is it peace/safety?
Selametî ye. Ev jî şûr e. Adeten şûr yê li çepê ye, bes îvî rahistiye yê li rastê. Ji bo selametiye, ne însanekî xwînxwar e. Eve. It is peace. This is a sword. Usually, the sword is on the left, but he held this one on the right. For the sake of peace, he is not a bloodthirsty person. That's it.
Bavê te kengî çêkirî? When did your father make it?
Heva berî vê teqrîben dav-panz sal hene. This was approximately ten-fifteen years ago.
Panzdeh salan? Ne zêde ye? Fifteen years? Isn't it more?

Ka ew şêr e? Is that a lion?
Ev jî... heva jî... Şems el-mucenneha ê êzîdiya ye. This too... this too... is the Winged Sun of the Ezidis.
Ê êzîdiya ye heva? Is this the one of the Ezidis?
Şems el-mucenneh. The Winged Sun.
Ev jî şêrê parastinê, yê parastgeh e. This is the lion of protection, of the temple/sanctuary.
Ew jî wi derê şêrek heye li cem me. Bi kevirê reş çêkiriye, bes temam nekir, nexweş ket. Ewa. That one too, there is a lion over there at our place. He made it with black stone, but didn't finish it, he fell ill. That's it.
Û li cem me jî derhana li dîwar da... awik çêkiriye. Ser jiyana xwe. Emkanin wê jî sekin. And at our place too, outside on the wall... he made a thing [fountain/mural]. About his life. We can look at that too.
Ev kengî çêkiriye şêr? When did he make this lion?
Ew jî di dema wê da ye. Dema berî vê bi dav-pênc sal. Di dema wek wê da. Yanî nexweş bû, nikanî temam bikira. Ev bû. That was also in that time. About ten-five [fifteen] years ago. In a time like that. Meaning he was sick, couldn't finish it. That was it.
Nêrîna Bavê Hêja. Belengaz diçe û her tişt lê dij e. The View of Bavê Hêja. The poor man goes and everything is against him.
Dadvan jiber mafê wî ker û gêj e. The judge is deaf and dazed regarding his rights.
Nasîna dijminatiya dem dirêj e. Recognizing the enmity is a long time coming.
Bextê hebûna gemar û qirêj e. Bi rastî Bavê Hêja wê çi bêje. The luck of existence is filthy and dirty. Truly, what will Bavê Hêja say.
Wiha dibêje Bavê Hêja, ku gelek axîn û nalîn û hesret di dilê wî de heye. Thus speaks Bavê Hêja, who has many sighs, laments, and longings in his heart.
Ev jî xûya dibe di payker, wêne, nivîs û helbestên wî de. This is also visible in his statues, paintings, writings, and poems.
Dilê wî tijî hezkirina Kurd û Kurdistanê bû. His heart was full of love for Kurds and Kurdistan.
Lê çerxa felekê xayîn e, ku derbe ya xedar li Bavê Hêja da. But the wheel of fate is treacherous, as it dealt a cruel blow to Bavê Hêja.
Lê wî bi berxwedana xwe li hember qederê kir. But he resisted against destiny with his resilience.
Û ma mîna dareke merxê li hember bahozê. And he remained like a juniper tree against the storm.
Ma, lê bi baskê şikestî û dilekî germ, ku xwîn mîna volkanekê tê de hildide. He remained, but with a broken wing and a warm heart, in which blood erupts like a volcano.
Gelek ked û xebat di warê kurdewariyê de kiriye. He put much effort and work into the field of Kurdishness.
Di demên borî de bi zimanê kurdî nivîsandiye. In past times, he wrote in the Kurdish language.
Û hevaltiya kesayetên rewşenbîr kiriye. Mîna helbestvanê binavûdeng Cegerxwîn û herwiha Osman Sebrî û Seydayê Tîrêj. And he befriended intellectual figures. Like the famous poet Cegerxwîn, as well as Osman Sebrî and Seydayê Tîrêj.
Pirtûkek bi navê Bihişta Azadî ji Erebî wergerandiye Kurdî. Lê nehatiye çapkirin. He translated a book named "Paradise of Freedom" from Arabic to Kurdish. But it was not published.
Û pirtûkek ji bo fêrbûna zimanê kurdî bi navê Alfabeya Kurdî, ku bi destê xwe nivîsandiye û gelek wêne çêkiriye. And a book for learning the Kurdish language named "Kurdish Alphabet", which he wrote by hand and created many illustrations for.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Sêbirê da jî em derbasî cem dayîka bûn. Yes dear viewers, in the village of Sêbir we also stopped by a mother [auntie].
Dayîka jî zeytûn amade kirine. Ev miha bi taybet miha zeytûna ye. The mother has prepared olives. This month specifically is the month of olives.

Piştî hûn dikine di avê de... After you put them in water...
Berî heşwê têkine, hûn dikin avê, yan piştî wê? Before you put the stuffing, do you put in water, or after?
Na berî em dikin avê şêrîn dikin, paşê em derdixin. No, first we put in water and sweeten, then we take out.
Heşwê dikin, dikine zêtê. We stuff them, put them in oil.

Ev na, hemû yê ser darê ne, lê bindar hene. No, all are from the tree, but there are fallen ones.

Heva yê ser darê ye, me şêrîn kirî û mana çêkirî. This is from the tree, we sweetened and prepared it.
Ev jî bi hetûna, a bi lêmûna û bi zehterê û bi îsotê. This is with... with lemon and with thyme and with pepper.

Bes carekê derman? Just once medicine?
Erê. Yes.
Avê diguherim heta avê xwe pak bû û ew derman jê çû. I change the water until the water is clean and that medicine is gone from it.
Xwê û avê û xweşê dikim û datînim. I add salt and water and flavor it and store it.
Zeytûnê şkandî tîne? Are there cracked olives?
Zeytûnê şkandî hebûne. There were cracked olives.
Me ne aniye. We didn't bring them.

Me dişkandin. We used to crack them.
Hîn jî em dişkênin, em zeytûnê şkandî ser sifre tînebin, em wê sifre neyinin xwarê. We still crack them, if we don't bring cracked olives to the table, we won't bring that table down.
Em wekî berûxwarî, yek dikir, yek saet... We like breakfast, one did, one hour...
Me dişkan û me dişûşt dikir qetremîza û her rojekê me avêk ser diguherî, heta şêrîn dibû. We cracked and washed and put in jars and every day changed water until it got sweet.

Xelkê gund debar a xwe bi çandinî û çinîna zeytûnan dikin. The people of the village make their living by planting and harvesting olives.
Û her wiha darê fêkîyan jî lê hene. And also there are fruit trees there.
Mîna hinar, rez, xox û mişmiş. Like pomegranates, vineyards, peaches and apricots.
Di demsala zeytûnan da jina gund, gelek cure ji zeytûnan çêdikin. In the olive season, the women of the village make many types of olives.
Ji bo mûneya zivistanê. For winter supplies.
Û ev bûye wek kevinşopiyekî li ba xelkê. And this has become like a tradition among the people.
